I broke my total of films seen from 2015 by just one in 2016, and nearly half of them were SF-themed, with action and thriller flicks a close second.

My best-of-year runs from the potato-riffic The Martian and Arrival to the bullet-laden John Wick and the epic Mad Max: Fury Road (Witness Me!) It was certainly a good 12 months for some of my favourite franchises with new entries in the worlds of Marvel, Star Trek, Star Wars and more – and a special documentary shout-out to Future Shock!, a terrific look at the history of 2000AD, the Galaxy’s Greatest Comic.
